Café de Paris is a hidden gem by the way of South Kensington. First there was the massively acclaimed Europeanrestaurantconceptualised in Geneva more than 80 years ago, and now Brompton Road is the home of the first branch to open in London. Chez Boubier Café de Paris, brings the same single menu offering that has been the restaurant’s highly successful trademark since 1930.

Don’t let the single item offering deter you, the pièce de résistance, The Entrecote comes in a three stage affair. A green salad which can be served either as a starter or with your main, is drenched in a deliciously mustardy French vinaigrette and offers a crisp bite and fresh bitterness. Following shortly after, your table is presented with two miniature grills, lit from below with candles. On one goes a platter of French fries with up to three servings per person, more than enough to leave you monstrously full; the other is reserved for the delectable entrecôte. Some crisp fresh baguette are served up for the ride, too, in case the fries aren’t enough.

The revolutionary dining concept, created by Monsieur Boubier, was devised to serve the finestentrecôteof beef accompanied by a subtle, indulgent and luscious sauce, the buttery (coronary heart attack) sauce of tarragon and mustard which melts and sizzles under the steak, adding more tenderness to the cut. The overall experience is indulgent, yet delectable in its simplicity.

The Café de Paris concept is world renowned and we can’t urge you enough to experience the only authenticl’entrecoteCafe de Paris in London.
